The church offered a FREE night out for staff members and because I am now working as the nursery director of the church, Mike and I were able to take advantage of this wonderful offer. Mike and I went and had a relaxing, delicious dinner and then did some "santa" shopping. The kids had a blast...they got to wear their pj's to church, eat Chic-Fil-A, play with the older kids (6th thru 8th grade leadership team), play reindeer games, watch movies, make peppermint play dough, eat treats and have a gingerbread house contest...
They divided into teams to make their houses. Since there are so many of them :-) our kids were their own team. With the help of Elizabeth, a very responsible 7th grader, they made the only gingerbread house that was still standing by the end of the night.
I am in awe of the lengths our church goes to to make things special for everyone. I am very grateful for the effort people put into things to make them fun and worthwhile.
